• Pope Francis’ Sermon Sparks Debate: ‘Even the Atheists’ Have Been Redeemed ‘With the Blood of Christ’

  May 23, 2013 at 12:52pm

  In reply to SquidVetOhio.

  I think CONTKMI makes some good points. We’re all getting a little up in arms and throwing around scriptures rather self-righteously here. Perhaps we don’t fully understand what he meant. In many cases, I think we’re splitting hairs and playing games with semantics. What does it mean to be redeemed, and what does it mean exactly to be saved? Many here will disagree with me, but ALL are redeemed by Christ. What I mean by that is that the Fall of Adam affected all mankind, and likewise the Atonement of Christ affects all mankind to counter the Fall. That is the free gift referred to in the Bible. Those who wish to receive a fullness of salvation, however, are only those who follow Christ and do His will. That is what Paul was referring to when he counseled to work out your own salvation.

• Will Boy Scouts Allow Openly-Gay Members In Its Ranks? Key Vote Comes Today

  Whatever happened to “physically strong, mentally awake, and MORALLY STRAIGHT” as specified in the Scout Oath?? Hmm?? Perhaps the BSA needs to make it more inclusive: “physically adequate, mentally sane (or not), and morally ambiguous”. There we go, scouts….Forward!

  @ Cavallo

  So….you think we have that long, huh? I don’t think our nation will be here in its present form in 5 years. I don’t, call me crazy. IMO, we will begin to see a massive worldwide economic collapse before the next US presidential election. This last “election” was our last.

• Did Harry Reid Really Say Abortion Protesters Forced Women to Go to Murdering Doctors Like Gosnell?

  Look, not many of us like the guy, nor do we view him as being a fit representative of our faith. However, the LDS Church believes in freedom of thought. What kind of a faith would ours be if we simply kicked everyone out who held views contrary to what the majority likely hold? Now, if he moved beyond holding an opinion, into the realm of assisting in egregious, sinful and/or criminal behavior (and would not repent), then that’s a different story.

• Obama Administration Under Siege From 3 Huge Scandals: Here’s Why It Could All Come Crashing Down

  May 14, 2013 at 2:36pm

  In reply to wildwood.

  Obama is riddled with scandal. He knows it. Everyone knows it now. The only thing he needs to rise above this is a national tragedy. Disasters seem to make leaders able to push aside what was currently pressing, as well as being able to gain additional popularity through it. It’s his only way out. Look for something soon. Possibly the exploding of the Hoover Dam. We know it’s coming. It is printed on our currency, just as the WWTC, the Pentagon, and the OKC federal building are. Just a matter of when…and now seems like as good a time as any. Plus, right now is the month of the snake in the year of the snake. Not a good omen. The snake isn’t a kind year, historically….Pearl Harbor, Tiananmen Square massacre, 9/11.

  Yep, Geraldo is a bit late in the game here.

• ‘F**king Religious Idiots’: The CraigsList Ad (and Promotion) That Just Has to Be Seen to Be Believed

  @ RIDEMODELS

  I admit, the Machu Pichu comment was funny. However, as a Mormon I have to say that for that to be the point where you draw the line is a bit curious. Let me get this straight. Jesus can walk on water, raise the dead, raise HIMSELF from the dead, and defy gravity by ascending into the sky on his way to heaven….but whoa! He CANNOT be in South America, dadgummit! :-D Cause the blind to see, sure, but I will be damned if I’m gonna sit here and listen to some gobblygook about making his way to a different continent! No way! God can do all things, but that….I’m not so sure about.

• This Happened For the First Time Ever in the 2012 Election…

  In reply to GoodStuff.

  @ GOODSTUFF

  I appreciate your vigor, but you’re promoting a false argument. We could have had every conservative in the country show up at the polls and somehow the numbers being fed to us on the television screen would have magically shown an Obama victory. Can anyone really check the numbers? We were told who “won” and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

  @ OLE

  No, these numbers are not real. Remember the enthusiasm? Nil for Obama and consistently trending up for Romney, especially since the first debate. Remember how Independents were polling in favor of Romney in EVERY state? Obama won every swing state? Yeah right. America got played, plain and simple.
